What happens here

Carefully insert one end of the electrical conduit into the shoe of the manual conduit bender. For precise bends, you would typically use a measuring tape to mark the exact point on the conduit where the bend needs to begin. This mark should then be aligned with the arrow or bending star, which is usually stamped on the bender's shoe, indicating the pivot point for the bend.

Goal: Securely place the conduit in the bender for accurate bending.
